Faced with his mother's relentless pressure, Zhou Qichen was so distressed that he just wanted to escape.
But his wife's burning gaze and his mother's hand tightly grasping his clothes, both women were forcing him to make a choice.
Zhou Qichen hesitated for a moment, then spoke with a headache: "Why are you asking me about this? Mom, you guys decide—"
However.
Before he could finish his words, Madam Zhou's eyes suddenly turned red, and she said, "Zhou Qichen, if you want to take a concubine, then we will divorce."
"Since you don't like girls, I'll take your daughter away."
"It's not that I can't support my daughter."
Mrs. Zhou's eyes were slightly red, but she was stubborn and did not shed tears. She was extremely firm in every word Zhou Qichen said.
Zhou Qichen suddenly felt tired. At this moment, he just wanted to find a crack in the ground to lie down and didn't want to pay attention to all these messy things.
When Mrs. Zhou saw that Zhou Qichen did not respond, her heart died.
She immediately asked the maid to pack her luggage and took her daughter back to her parents' home.
Now, under the guidance of Miss Gu and Her Majesty the Queen, women are no longer criticized after being divorced, and they can return to their parents' homes.
To be precise, women today have more choices and they no longer have to wait to be divorced.
They can also choose to divorce!
Zhou Qichen's adopted son Dashu came back from the military camp and heard what happened at home.
He took two pots of good wine and found Zhou Qichen who was in a daze in the study.
"Foster father, why didn't you speak up for stepmother today? Don't you have any feelings for her at all?"
"What if it was Miss Gu today? Would you also agree to take a concubine?"
Zhou Qichen took the jar of wine and guzzled it. He couldn't explain why, but he felt upset. "I don't know! Don't ask me."
"I just want to balance the relationship between the two of them, but they insist on forcing me to make a choice."
"If it's Gu Sang... hehe, but there are no ifs."
Dashu followed his guess and said firmly, "If it was Miss Gu, she would have quit long ago! And you would never let her suffer any injustice!"
"To be honest, in the past two years since you got married, your stepmother has endured a lot for you, but what you did today really hurt her heart."
"I know you don't really want to take a concubine, but you couldn't resist grandma's constant nagging and nodded in agreement. This is actually very irresponsible of you."
"I've never seen my stepmother so angry. She must be extremely disappointed in you."
Zhou Qichen looked towards the horizon irritably: "If she wants to leave me, then I can only let her go. Actually, this is also quite good."
Dashu placed the remaining wine on the table and said helplessly and angrily:
"Godfather, why can't you accept the reality?"
"Think about it slowly. Do you really love Miss Gu, or is this just your obsession with unrequited love?"
"I don't know how much affection you have for your stepmother, and whether her efforts over the years have moved you in the slightest, but I want to tell you that some things, once lost, will never come back."
After Dashu left, Zhou Qichen drank by himself.
Lying drunk on the chair, his mind was filled with the image of Gu Sang dealing with his wife.
final.......
Gu Sang looked at him from afar, then resolutely floated away and disappeared completely.
The various images of his wife's graceful smile, the affection in her eyes, and her forbearance and grievance overlapped, and finally an image of his wife firmly reaching out her hand to him emerged.
Zhou Qichen closed his eyes and smiled bitterly.
Before dawn, Dashu was worried that his adoptive father would catch a cold, so he brought him clothes.
I saw that the door of the study was wide open and my adoptive father was gone.
I guess he went to pick up his stepmother and take her home?
Da Shu looked at the door of the study and sighed: "Time is really a good thing. It can dilute everything, and it can also make people choose the results they don't want to choose."
“Perhaps it is really difficult for someone to always stick to their original intentions and never follow the crowd or compromise.”
"Godfather finally recognized the reality."
"I don't know what love is, but I know that once we enter into marriage, apart from love, there is also responsibility."
